"Sexual sounds’ banned on China’s Airwaves

China has banned ’sexual sounds’ on television.

The State Administration of Radio, Film and Television has their ax sharpened and they are hacking away…first reality shows featuring sex changes and plastic surgery, then talent contests during prime-time and now sexual sounds.

“Sexually suggestive advertisements and scenes showing how women are influenced into a life of crime are detrimental to society.”

I am not sure I get the connection between the suggestive ads and influenced into a life of crime…but, I agree, both can be detrimental to society.

“Commercials containing sexually provocative sounds or tantalizing language as well as vulgar advertisements for breast enhancement and female underwear are banned, effective immediately.”

SARFT has cleaned up 1,466 advertisements worth $246 million in the past two months from China’s airwaves.

I live in a free society where people are free to do anything. Problem is, some people will do absolutely anything.

In China, it’s not that way.

Still…I prefer the freedom.
